LMAO!!!
You too!!!!! OMG..........this is TOO funny.
My black car has/had that omen too. It's been 9 yrs and I still disconnect the battery when I park it. It does tend to sit for weeks sometimes. Even my lil '69 F100 used to have a drain(I disconnect it too).
Do you have the old points style regulator on the car? I'm thinking that maybe the points might get crusty and stick closed and leave the gen/alt on thus killing the battery. How about a hood or trunk light? Don't some even have glovebox light? Make sure the switches work well or they might stick enough to stay on. Does it have a clock? Working? Sometimes? Might be a problem too.
Once you narrow down all the little gadgets on the car that "could" be a problem you'll likely find the culprit.

Ya, intermittent electric problems are the DEVIL!
